Comfortable and Clean. Just a short walk from Lavander MRT, along the way there are many eateries and supermarket, even a phone store that offered me a very good deal on our SIM card. Directly around the hostel / Inn theirs is a Seven Eleven and food courts areas, so with in a short distance theirs every thing you need in a good neighbourhood. Upon entering the manager Tommy was welcoming and supplying us with information to assist our stay in Singapore.

Staff was very hospitable and assisted me in determining routes for public transport, local cheap finds, and must-visit places that are off the beaten track. Moreover, they always see to it that everything is convenient for me and they took care of me like I was part of their family, especially since I was there all alone for quite a while.

The place is walking distance from MRT Station. 7-11 is next door. The room is extra clean, fastest WiFi compare to other hostels even few hotels I stayed in before. The toilet/bathroom are super clean. All are well maintained. Manager Tommy is very cheerful and warm-welcoming. Security level is 9 out of 10 (room lock using passwords-instead of card or key). It was worth every dime. I recommended this to anyone.

Our reception is not 24 hours due to high staff cost in Singapore, we sent self check in procedure instruction to all guests. We have towel for rental at S$1 to cover our laundry cost. We do have hot water in our toilets, guests need to turn on heater switch outside toilets.

Good Price, Near MRT, Clean, Helpful Staff
My first experience at a boutique hostel, first time stay at an alcove and felt GOOD.... First things, the hostel is located at a convenient location. About 200 m to Bendemeer MRT(Downtown line) and 500 m from Lavender MRT (East-West Line, many eating places). It is also at extreme proximity to Jalan Besar and Little India. The passcode concept was completely new to me, and i found it to be extremely convenient and useful. The bathroom was shared, it was neat and tidy. The hot water plus the coffee powder was a big boon for caffeine addict like me. Tommy was outstanding help throughout my stay there and even helped me keep the luggage in a safe even after checking out. All in all a big thumbs up to Blanc Inn, i would love to come back there for my next business trip.

Homie nice boutique inn, well recommend
We stay at Blanc Inn for 4 days and 3 nights. I'm travelling with my family. This boutique inn is very homie.  First, the interior was minimalist and very efficient. It is a very clean hostel, they did very good job maintain the cleanness level.  The lounge was lovely, very nice touch in the interior, and also very home feel like... It also a place where people could meet and interact.  And the location, it's very very strategic;. Near three MRT station, near to the bus stop (Serangoon), food is all around. This inn is recommended. Very worth the value, and it also get us to get out and travel and meet people....

Hostel close to mrt
Hostel is close to all amenities especially mrt which was what I was looking for. No reception staff after 6pm so self check in after that. Instructions through email was simple and easy to follow.for that. Reception staff are friendly and accommodating esp Faisal. Hostel facilities are clean with free coffee , tea and filtered water . I had the single room which was quite small but clean.The bed is soft and sags a bit which is not good for bad back. It can be quite noisy at night depending on the type of guests that are there at that time. Some nights are pretty quiet. Overall, it's not a bad hostel to stay if all the guests follow the right etiquette :).

Near 3 MRT station. Nice loft design. Clean.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. The place is spotless and as far as I know all the necessary, even luxury things are there. You can clearly tell by what they offer (books, all the ammenities, overall friendlyness, wifi, shared tv, free coffee, safe) that they are enthusiastic. A good place if you want to travel on budget and still have 'luxury demands', for that kind of folk this is the perfect solution.

The hostel and alcovens were clean. Aunt LG. at reception gave me good advice for my Singapore trip. Late check-in by myself worked without any problems. I was one day late because I missed a fligth, but the hostel still kept my reservation :) Really good connection with MRT (Lavender MRT Green line, Bendemeer MRT Downtown line)

Love the place! Kudos to Mdm LG and Faizal (genuinely warm, friendly, and helpful people) for managing the place so well. It's not just the rooms, but also the bathrooms, toilets, and pantry - in fact the entire place is so clean and tidy! The inn and and surrounding area is quiet and peaceful, and there's a couple of eateries and convenience stores nearby for emergencies. Will recommend and will come back for sure.

Higher class hostel, highly recommneded
I am too old for hostel but here having a separate room worked perfect for me. The room was clean, shared bathroom also very clean and I was really comfortable using it. There are several showers in case it is used by other people at the same time. There is a locker and safe in the room. A/C worked well, WiFi was strong. Location is great, close to Little India and MRT station. Staff (Faizal and Peggy) were extremely friendly and helpful with tips and recommendations. I stayed 3 nights was lucky to meet both of them. I am not a person who sleeps in hostels but Singapore is expensive and I had to compromise. This place was far much better than some other hotels i have stayed during my 7 weeks travel in Asia. I am happy with my choice and would stay here again. This place changed my opinion about hostels.
